Drawing on America's Past by Virginia Tuttle Clayton (Hardcover - Univ of North Carolina Pr)
This beautifully illustrated book commemorates the sixtieth anniversary of the National Gallery of Art's acquisition of the Index of American Design. Widely regarded as one of the New Deal's most important art projects, the Index was commissioned in 1935 by the Works Progress Administration. Its aim was to compile and eventually publish a visual archive of decorative, folk, and popular arts made in America from the colonial period to about 1900. Some 400 artists involved in the project created precise watercolor drawings of the almost 18,000 objects in the Index.

The book presents 82 of the finest watercolor renderings along with a selection of about 40 of the artifacts they represent. The original objects range from quilts, weather vanes, and hand-carved toys to carousel animals, stoneware, and cigar-store figures. Three essays explore the history, operation, and ambitions of the Index of American Design, examine folk art collecting in America during the early decades of the twentieth century, and consider the Index's role in the search for a national cultural identity in the early twentieth-century United States.

Here's a complete course in the art of drawing, from core sections on pencil and pastel to the more esoteric techniques of sfumato and gestural drawing. More than 50 drawing techniques are shown in clear, detailed, step-by-step photography, plus a comprehensive overview of digital drawing techniques, with directions for modifying digital drawings using a visual effects wheel.

Drawing from Life by Clint Brown (Paperback - Wadsworth Pub Co)
The leading textbook for college figure-drawing classes, DRAWING FROM LIFE provides a clear, comprehensive, and thought-provoking guide to drawing the human form for anyone interested in exploring this time-honored artistic tradition. For centuries, drawing the human figure has given artists the tools and vocabulary for creating paintings, sculpture, drawings, or prints?from Renaissance classical to contemporary expression. In addition to working from the model, the figure-drawing student needs instruction in anatomy, history, and conceptual approaches to drawing the human form; such instruction is often missing from life drawing classes due to time constraints. DRAWING FROM LIFE offers these elements, along with a tremendous selection of drawings that represent the broad range of approaches, techniques, and media for drawing from life. The chapters follow the natural development of a student's growth, from fundamental sketching and gesture drawing to creative expression and exploration. An entire chapter on drawing the figure in perspective offers information that is not available in comparable textbooks. Students begin with quick sketches and gesture drawings, giving them a non-threatening introduction on a level they can readily understand and master. The cohesive presentation of anatomy, including a chapter on the human head, helps students understand the human structure and its impact on visible form. The final section brings the concepts, vocabulary, and history presented in the earlier chapters to bear on contemporary use of the figure in art.
